In humans the male is dragged out but then forced to pay alimony and child support....... The President is a fink. |

Please refer to the recent film, "Kingsman: The Secret Service" for an action flick take on this concept. An obligatory "WARNING: This film contains Samuel L. Jackson rantings" is required every time this film is mentioned. |

Sometimes maybe, but in the USA family law is biased much in favor of females. Enough of this sidetrack and back to the bees, please. The President is a fink. |

Ayecarumba Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 89 Posts: 1744 | I saw a news story about a young girl who, after getting stung by a bee, studied up on them and opened a lemonade stand with honey as the sweetener. Long story short, she is now a very successful entrepreneur. The thing that caught my attention about the story, was that they were describing the decline in the bee population over footage of what appeared to be a large hornet walking amongst the flowers. Is this technically correct? Is "Honey Bee" a species, or are there other species of bees, wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, etc. that produce honey? |

"Honey Bee" is not a species. There are multiple kinds of honey bees including Russians, Italians, and the African "killer bees." AFIK the other stinging insects do not produce honey. The President is a fink. |

Here is a link to the video of the story. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/beesweet-lemonade-founder-mikaila-ulmer-raises-awareness-honeybee-decline/ I'm pretty sure the image at :35 is a hornet, and a pretty big one at that. |
